First off, I would like to start out by introducing myself since I am new around here. I am an 18 year old male who has recently (about 7 months ago) become very serious about weight training. I have started to notice some serious results, but still I have a few questions that I need some guidence on since I am just an intermediate lifter.

I try and read books and articles as much as I can to learn the maximum amount about weight lifting. I would consider my body type to be endomorphic. I weigh around 210 lbs. and I am about 6 feet tall. I have some fat that I need to lose so I make sure I do cardio before or after every workout and stick to a sensible diet. (those who have been to college know that college food is not typically healthy) With all that said, on to some of my questions

This question pertains to Chest Development... I have noticed that as my chest is gaining mass that almost it seems like my lower chest is gaining more quickly and pulling downward, giving my pectoral muscles almost a "pointy" shape. Is there anyway to correct this? Should I focus more on the upper chest to negate this?

Welcome aboard! Yes, you could focus on doing more inclined chest work along with concentrated pec work.

Good luck...

Rpacheco, any ideas on what excercizes I should focus on? I usually do alot of chest work with dumbells, because I figure you can hit different angles of the chest better.

I try and do some different types of pec-fly's too... I am open to suggestions as to what other things I could do.

I'll keep this short and sweet! Better form, slower reps, deeper stretch ( dumbells ), always do incline first, incline fly's and the age old pullover will build huge upper pecks try and compound set incline dumbell presses with pullovers and incline flys, yes all in one giant set. good luck!
